What Are Sessions and Cookies?

Sessions: A session stores user data on the server and associates it with a unique session ID. It is used for managing data during a user’s visit to a website.

Cookies: A cookie is a small piece of data stored on the user's browser. It is used to persist data between visits.

Key Difference: Sessions store data on the server, while cookies store data on the client-side.
